Who Are We Making Disciples Of?

Go to your local christian bookstore or get online at your favorite christian book retailer and it won't take long to find a book or a curriculum about discipleship.  There may not be quite as many discipleship products as there are church growth products, but there are still plenty out there.  I think that having a good book on discipleship or having a good curriculum if you are teaching on discipleship are good things.  I have a couple of books on my shelf that I turn to now and again to remind me of discipleship concepts that otherwise I might forget.  These tools are not, however, the most important thing when it come to making disciples.  Not even close.  I think one of the most important things to understand when it comes to making disciples (and we are all called to make disciples, remember Matthew 28:19-20?) is what I call the principle of reproduction.  It is very simple and very important to always remember.
